fatal voyage. lie has handed them to ti
for publication, of which they are indeed
worthv. There iS a deep melancholy pre
vaiding themt which "is pleasant thouth
mournful to the soul," and one can easily
imagine, almost prophetic of tihe ailietive
event which overtook their gifted aithor.
If the doctrine, that tile dead are the un

how beautiful aid touchingly approprtate

Miss Stow was a young lady of superior
attainmenre, of well regulated mind, and of
uncommon promise. She wi. elucated in
this city and there aro not a few here who

TO MY BROT11.R
When the last rays of twilight's hour,
Fall gently o'er the drooping flower
WhlenC mists are ga thering on the hill,
Nor so'nil is heard save mountain rill
[Then haer!the echo whispering near,
In softest lcetients to thino ear
I lo'e thee, deare-t brother!
Wtensilencer reigns throulh earth and sea,
n ,anur of mnemnory
When music wakes her thrilling tine,
And Atittini winds around thee moan
Their accents bear,. aId ah rz joicc!
For hark ! there comes a well knoii iw voice,
I love thee, dearest brother!
When faney lift her radiant wiinr,
And morning lirds around thee sing
When joy lights up thy beaming eye,
And love's enchantment too is nigh
.Whei cnhu blue waters around thee flow,
Then bear thy sister, breathing low
I love thee, dearest brother!
Should disappointment's withering breath
Consign thy brightest hopes to dcath
Should friendship's trust in boyhood made,
In after years prove faith betrayed ;
Then to thy sister yet return,
For oh, her heart will fondly burn
To clasp her dearest brother!
Should sorrow cloud thy coming years,
And bathe thy prospects all in tears,
Reietuber that the Rainbow's hie
Is bright 'mi' clouds and sunshine too:
Remember though we're dooled to part,
The:e lives one fond and fithiful heart
That loves her dearest brother!

Extracts from Col. Knapp's speech deliver
ed at Newark.
The history of the potato is a regular oie.
flee's Encyclopedia states thant lhe poltato
was brought fronm Virgmii by Mir WVahler
Raleigh to I reland,--the wrilcer shiuld
have said from South Amecrica,--in the
latter poutof the sixteenth ceituiry. lie
had no' 'idea of its ever hemng used~ as an
esculent tit tha.t time. It wa oitSnte'd out
to him as a beatifuil flower. anad its hard,
hulby root iwas said byv the ntatives, to pos
sess medical gjtaliuies. lie took it to Ire
laud, where he hadl e-tates pr"euted to
him by (Queen ElizabethI, andl pla~ntedl it in
his garden. Thel flow'r dlid not improv~e by
etiltivation, hat the root grew Ir: eri anid
softer. The potatto int its native bed wias a
coarse grounid tint. The lihought struek rte
pthilosopher to try the poitt as ant eatible,
andil ~ing and roasting it, fouind it by either
process excellent, Ile then gave some
plants to the peasantry, am.d they soot be
.came int a measure, a substitute for bread
whe'n tile harvest was scanty.
TIhe potato was successfully cnltivated in
Irebintd buefore it wa :s thought of in Eng
land. It grewv inito favor by slow de~grees,
atnd was so little knoiwn whetn oor pilgrim
fathers camne to this cotutry, that it was
'lot thioutght of for at crop ini the Nri w R orld.
It would have beetn an e'xcellent thing for
hemt, if they had( beetn negnaintedl withI tho
value of the potato It wias not tuntil I17'9,
that the it ish Potatb reached this country.
A colony of Presbyterian Irish whto settled
in L~ondotnderry, in N. llamlpshiire, broueht
the root with them. These people found
heir ravorite vegetable thrived well inl new
grounnds. By dcegrees their ncighbos came
into the habit of rasing potatoes, but many
years elapsed befbro the culkivation of thein
was generally aiong the yeoainry of this
country. Long after they were held in
coneiipt, nnd tile master mechanuic often
had to stipulate with his apprentice that lie
should not he obliged to eat potatoes. Anl
aged mechanic ouce informed me that he
had raised nine bushels, having at that mne
(1746) a dozen apprentices, but did not
venture to oifler then a boiled potato .with
their ncnt, but left them) in tihe cellar for
tine apprentices to get and roast as they
pleased ; but soon found that he should not
have enough for seed, and locked upl) what
was left. The next year ie raised the
enormous quanitity of thirty bushels; the
neighbliors siared, bit the boys devoured
them the Following 'winter.
Aboit this time some of the gentry
broueght this vegetable on their tables, and
the prejudice against them vanish- d. Thus
by degrees, a taste fimr- them was formed
never to be extinguished. The culture of
the potato is niow well understood: a crop
ieliorates instead of impoverishes the soil.
and the culture can be increased to any ex
lent. Thus by the curiosity of onne lover of
riatinre, and his experinents, has an humble
weed been brought from tle mountain of
:muth Amerien, and spread over Europe
anad North America, until it is enphtically
called tine bread of na ticns." Still the!
cointry Crom whinice it was taken, has been
too ignorant or superstitions to attempt .its
eulntivation until wvithin a few years. Now
el lights of science are chasilng away tine
long deep shadows of tie Andes.
"Rice was broight from India in 1721,
and cultivated, by nay of experiment in S.
Carolina. It succeeded well, and for nanny
years inas the staple article of the State. It
seems strange, but it is no more strange

YOUTH BETRAYED.
A few years ago, the green of a. rich
bachelor in the north of Irelaid, had been
f ejuettly robbed at night, to a very cou
siderable amount; notwithstanding tihe utt
most vigilance of the proprietor nnd his
servants to protect it, and without the
slightest clue being furnished of the detce
tion of the robber.
Effiectillc y and repeatedly bailled by
the ingenuity of the thief or thieves, the
proprictor at length ofTered a reward of
100 pounds Ior the appreheisiton of any
person or persons detected robbiug the
green.
A few days after this proclamation, the
master was at midnight raised from his bed
by. the alarm of a faithful servant "there
was somebody with a lantern crossena the
green." The master starting from his bed
flew to the window.--it was so-lie hurried
on his clothes, armed himself with a pistol
the servant flew to his loadedi musket, and
and they cautiously followed the light. The
person with a lantern (a man) was as they
pproached, on .tip-toe, distinctly seen
stooping and grouping on the ground ; lie
was seen lifting and tumbling the line.
Tho servant fired ; the robber fell. The
man atid iaster nowproceeded to ex-tn
ine the spot. Tie robber was lead; lie was
reeto;i;ized to be a youth of about nine
teen,, who resided a few fields nil. The
linen was ut across; bintdlesof it were
lied tip; and upon searchiug and- exainin
ing farther, tihe servant in the presence of
tihe master, picked tip a pea-knife, with the
name of the unhappy youth engraved upon
the handle. The evidence was conclusive
for in the morning the lantern was acknowl
edged by tIhe afilicted and impliented father
of the boy to be his lantern. Defenee was
dumb.
The faithful servant received the hi
dred poiundsi; reward, and was besides pro
tmtuted to be the confidettial overseer of
the, emblish mn.-. -
This faithful servanit, the .eatial
overseer, was shortly oftier proved to havo
hec, hiniselr the thief. and was haiged at
Dundalk for tionirderof tbeyouth Whoin
lie liadcrusllybeityeld.
It appeared uldi ihe elenrest evidernce,
and by the dying c-nfession and description
of the wretch hims'elf, th't all this cireihii
stantial evidenlce was preconcertvd by him.
